360S for $199?

I saw an xbox 360 commercial promoting the 360S at $199.

Does this mean they're selling the new 360S with smaller HDD sizes?

yea its $199 with the 4GB HD, but $299 with the 250GB

I though it said Xbox 360 S starting at $199.

Yeah the 4 gig one is 199.99 waste in my opnion unless you don't plan on getting any DLC,Arcade,Music,etc.

Maybe they're trying to push people to spend the extra money for the 250 gig. The more expensive console is going to look amazing if the cheaper version is complete crap :p

Yeah that's what there doing. 4gig will be for kenect/casual games. Any serious gamer is forced to spend the 299.99

I have the new slim though. For me it was worth every penny. Althought I did the gamestop trade in and paid very very little for it which makes it that much more worth it!

It's the arcade version with 4gb of memory, not a 4gb hard drive. People seem to think it's a hard drive with only 4gb but it's not a hard drive, it will be 4gb of memory. It can be internal storage or flash, we just don't know yet, but one thing for sure it is not a hard drive. Just wanted to get that straight since some are still confused about that.

This topic AGAIN? The 4Gb hard drive is basically what an Arcade was, with more memory! It works if all you want to do it download arcade games/save games and DLC. Do I really need to go into how many KB it takes to make ONE GB?

People forget for years 75 million casual/core gamers have been using 512MB of Memory on the most popular gaming platform out there today, and downloading lots of new software as well as older software (albeit the memory solution is a bit complex)

4GBs Flash Memory for the 360 is a good idea, i just wish the 360 S was actually better looking

I'm happy even the $199 360 comes with WiFi, great move by MS. With USB drives so cheap a $199 360 with 4GB is no laughing matter, some gamers don't need that much

However, the old HDDs should work on the 360 S in my opinion and i wish it resembled the old console more, but was actually shorter (and not wider) Shaving off the memory card slots was a good idea, but the thing is what 17% smaller?

They could've made the old HDDs work, and made it 30% smaller, kept a similar look to the original, but no they went the cheap and easy route and changed very little on the inside except a giant fan.

Why not design the inside to not be prone to overheating as much WITHOUT the need for huge fans?

I know its more complex to make a console like the 360 than i make it sound like, but the reason why the 360 can't be the size of a PS2 slim, or Wii (or slightly bigger) in 2010 after 5 years on market is beyond me

What's up the critcizing of the 4GB? That comes with almost 8x the space of the old arcades, plus you can throw in 5 16GB flashdrives into the USB ports. Don't tell me memory is a problem.
